BBC News - Barry Humphries Named Oldie of the Year

Other winners this year include Jean Marsh for "Old Maid of the Year", Prince Phillip for "Consort of the Year", and Ann Widdicombe for "Hoofer of the Year".

Dame Edna and Jason Manford!

Quicksticks, darlings!

If you happen to live in London, check out the SRO Audiences site and get your tickets to a fabulous night with international icon Dame Edna Everage as she cares and shares with Jason Manford on his Comedy Rocks show for ITV.

Could it be that Jason's mother has been begging Dame Edna to help Jason by offering some sensible advice following the - call me old fashioned - rather yucky antics that lead to his departure from The One Show?

She'll no doubt be probing all the nooks and crannies of little Jason's life with the insight that only a housewife/megastar can offer. She'll be laughing, but she'll be laughing compassionately...

Jason's other scheduled guests will include Jason Byrne and Paloma Faith (who appeared recently with Edna at the Prince's Trust Rock Gala 2010). Don't miss it, Possums!!!
